About Me

In writing the "About Me" portion of this blog I thought about the purpose of the blog - namely, preventing the growth of Socialism & stopping the Death Of Democracy in the American Republic & returning her to the "liberty to abundance" stage of our history. One word descriptions of people's philosophies or purposes are quite often inadequate. I feel that I am "liberal" meaning that I am broad minded, independent, generous, hospitable, & magnanimous. Under these terms "liberal" is a perfectly good word that has been corrupted over the years to mean the person is a left-winger or as Mark Levin more accurately wrote in his book "Liberty & Tyranny" a "statist" - someone looking for government or state control of society. I am certainly not that & have dedicated the blog to fighting this. I believe that I find what I am when I consider whether or not I am a "conservative" & specifically when I ask what is it that I am trying to conserve? It is the libertarian principles that America was founded upon & originally followed. That is the Return To Excellence that this blog is named for & is all about.

Inspirational Quotes That Provide Practical Value

Several blogs & e-newsletters that I subscribe to include quotes for the day that are quite often timely & worthwhile.  Most of the people being quoted actually lived up to what they said.  I have a long list & will present some from time to time.  Below is the first set of five.


1.  "Somebody once said we never know what is enough until we know what's more than enough." - Billie Holiday

2.  "Most folks are about as happy as they make up their minds to be." - Abraham Lincoln

3.  "Just because they say it's impossible doesn't mean you can't do it." - Roger Bannister

4.  "Failure will never stand in the way of success if you learn from it." - Hank Aaron

5.  "Perfection is not attainable, but if we chase perfection we can catch excellence." - Vince Lombardi
